He recommends the dismissal of the charges. A re

quest was made for Mr. Jerome's removal. "My conviction upon the whole case." says Mr. Hand in his report, "la that the respondent has been shown to have discharged the onerous duties of his office with zeal and ability, having the public good as his motive, and that no incapacity, indifference or neglect of duty has been Bhown In any case." Governor Hughes has not acted upon Commissioner Hand's report. Twenty-Three Charges Filed. Twenty-three charges were filed gainst District Attorney Jerome , April 16 last and three additional t charges on June 16. Later ten of the charges were iwthdrawn. The commissioner sustained the contentions of District Attorney Jerome in every charge, stating at the conclusion of many of them that he could find no neglect on the part of the district attorney or any good reason for other or further action than that which was taken by him. The charges in the main accused the district attorney of alleged neglect , of duty in not sufficiently prosecuting alleged fraudulent acts of the Metropolitan Street and other railway companies of New York and also of the Insurance companies as developed by the so-called Armstrong legislative insurance Investigation.

CHINA IS ANXIOUS FOR AMERICA'S AID Realizes That This Country . Would Lift That Out of Darkness.

JAPANESE ARE FEARED.

SENTIMENT TOWARD THEM IS GROWING EACH DAY CELESTIALS SHOWN SYMPATHY TOWARDS REFORMS.

Hong Kong, Aug. 25. 'ews of the suggested alliance between China and America has created intense interest among the Chinese and caused the revival of hopes for the thorough regeneration of the Empire and the prevention of possible partition. They realize the ineptitude of the country, but recognize its potentialities if supported by a strong nation like America. Development of commercial industry and natural resources, which ha been blocked by official greed on the one hand and negligence and ignorance on the other, would be given a chance if China were upheld and guided by a strong, free nation. China has little to offer in the sharie of an army and navy, but possesses esentials which could quickly materialize if the integrity of the Empire were assured by an ally. It was once believed Great 'Britain would be the guiding hand in bringing China to her own, but now it is recognized that she has entirely lost the splendid opportunity, which, if seized by America, will be the saving of China and the firm establishment of America in the far East. Evidences of Awakening. There are evidences of the awakening which indicate a warm sympathy in the reforms necessary to fit China to enter the family of nations on an equal footing with the others. It is felt that with the moral support of America and some gentle persuasion China would quickly reform her financial arrangements and later effectively found an army and navy, establish good government and abolish her political and commercial evils. China fears Japan, it is claimed, which has long endeavored to bring influence to bear to gain ascendancy of power in China. She has a dominant influence in three Manchurian provinces, which is bound to spread unless checked. China's eyes are opened to Japan's objects. She is gradually dismissing the Japanese teachers that Japan induced her to employ and also is finding her students educated in Japan inefficient and revolutionary. China is realizing that if she must learn she must be taught by a master and not by a pupil, as Japan is. China needs assistance which an alliance with America would insure.

SHE LIKES GOOD THINGS. Mrs. Chas. E. Smith, of West Franklin, Maine, says: "I like good things and have adopted Dr. King's New Life Pills as our family laxative medicine because they are good and do their work without making a fuss about it."

Sootliing His Father. The father of Sir Hubert Herkomer, the great painter, was a poor man, and the professor brought him from his native land In Germany to live with him in his beautiful house near London. The old man ueed to model in clay In his early life, and now that he had leisure he took to it again in his old age. But bia hands trembled, and the work showed signs of imperfection. It was his one sorrow. At night he went to ld early, and when he had gorje his son would go Into the 6tudlo, take his father's poo" work and make It as beautiful as possible. When the old man came down in the morning he would look at the work and rnb his hands and say: "Ha! I can do as well as ever I did."

"I fell out of the window of my flat yesterday." "And you are on the fourth floor. That was terrible." "Yes; I don't know how to face the janitor. I'm sure that I have violated some clause in my lease." Washington Herald.

TREASURY EMPLOYES ESCAPE ASSESSMENT Secretary Winthrop Posts Anti-election Warning.

Washington, Aug. 25. An anti-election warning against political assessments has teen issued to employes of the Treasury Department by Acting Secretary Beekman Winthrop. The circular promulgates the civil service laws and regulations on the subject, and directs that officers of the department controlling the various branches of the service post conspicuously in their respective office copies of the document, "and otherwise to use every appropriate and available means to direct the attention of their subordinates to the provisions thereof." In past years the same sort of a circular has been issued, but it has been more formal than this one.

QUEER EXPRESSIONS.

Used by Those Who Wish to Swear Without Being Profane. Tseudo swear words are of strange and wondrous kind, and great ingenuity is , used in thinking them up. Of course "darn" and "durn's" parentage is not hard to guess, but such expressions as "geewillikins," "golly" and "gosh." when used as substitutes for profane words, are harder to trace. A southerner once was heard to use in the course of a single description the expressions "dog bite 'em," "gosh all fishhooks," "dad rat 'em" and "jumpln gee whiz." From a man who lives in Connecticut come these expressions: "Great

horned toads and firecrackers,'

"gum

swat," "gol dast it" and "by the ternal bowwows." A Fennsylvanian Is responsible for the expression "sacrificial pollywogs," the meaning of which is not exactly clear. Many Hoosiers swear "by gravy," and the exclamation "jiminy krauts" is common in some parts of the country. A Chicago man relieves his overwrought feelings after missing a shot in billiards by shouting "sacred camels" and "monk of the forest" The Germans like to make remarks about thunder and lightning when they wish to be real naughty, the Frenchmen take to little sayings about a "thousand cannons" or some large number of "thunders," and sailors are credited with great oaths embodying the "great horn spoon" or a willingness to "shiver my timbers," but probably the American who wishes to swear without being profane finds as many queer expressions as any oneChicago Tribune.

The Process of Assaying Both Metals Is Identical. The process of assaying gold and silver is identical. The metal is first put through a highly heated furnace and melted, the sample for assay being dipped out while the metal is in a liquid state. Next the sample is thrown into a vessel of cold .water,

when granulation ensues. Taken from

the cold bath. It is boiled in sulphuric acid, the silver dissolving, while the gold is precipitated to the bottom, where it Is caught in proper receptacles. The acid is now drawn off and the metal placed in another vessel laid

with sheet lead, the bottom being plates of copper. Chemical action now sets in, the acid, copper and lead being in a ferment While the gold is being precipitated the 6ilver, if there be any in the sample under test, is being deposited in thin metallic sheets on what before the fermentation set in were the copper plates, bat which have now, been transformed into bine vitriol or sulphate of copper. After the metals have all been deposited they are gathered up and with the impurities still remaining pressed Into cakes by a hydraulic machine which has a pressure of 200 tons. Again it is melted (the gold and silver each in separate vats, of coarse), the pure metal being again deposited and the Impurities, aided by chemical action, left floating on the top. The next and last process runs the metals into Ingots ready for the markets the world

VICTIM

CLAIMED A QUAKER John Tribbey a Member of Riverside Particular Meeting.

HE MAY BE DISMISSED.

IN LIGHT OF RECENT EVENTS HIS NAME MAY BE STRICKEN FROM THE CHURCH REGISTER HAS BEEN WAITED UPON.

Local friends have been interested in the publication of the accounts of the Rush county whitecapping case and the assertions John Tribbey, the victim is a member of that denomination. He has been said to be a member of the Friends church at Carthage. Whatever connection Tribbey had with any Friends church is likely to be lost as is indicated by the following from the Carthage Citizen: "The truth of the matter is: Tribbey is not a member of the Friends' church here. He has been and is a member of Riverside particular meeting of Friends which also makes Mm a member of Walnut Ridge monthly meeting and subject to the laws that governs that church. Tribbey has twice been visited by a committee from Walnut Ridge monthly meeting just previous to the whitecapping, his case was discussed. The meeting favored disowning him. To this there was on dissenting voice, and the meeting consented to the appointment of a committee which should give the culprit one more chance. The committee visited him In his nome. The case is pending, but since the events of the past two weeks Tribbey's name is certain to be stricken from the church register."

ORIGIN OF "EGYPT."

How the Name Came to Be Applied tc Southern Illinois. The year 1S24 was very wet Heavy rains fell frequently. Corn on flatland3 was a total failure. This year the we vil destroyed the wheat after it was harvested. The next year, 1825, there was a remarkable growth of thistles on the branch bottoms. The winter of 1S30-1 was known as the winter ol deep snow. The snow was of a depth of from two and a half to three feet on a level. It drifted much and was very destructive to fruit trees. The weather was intensely hot. Both in 1S31 and 1S32 the early frosts so injured the corn as to entirely render it worthless for almost any purpose. During the years between and including 1824-32. so nearly corresponding to the years of famine in the days of Pharaoh and his ruler, as he made Joseph to be, the people of Illinois, depended upon the southern part of the state for so much grain, particularly corn, that people in remembrance of the Bible story began to call the part of the state which had been so helpful in time of need Egypt Albion Journal.

Would Be Missed. "I know what you'll miss most about us," said her neighbor, who was moving from the building, "our telephone, that you have been using. I shall never forget that night you called us up from somewhere where you had concluded to spend the night, that you had left your flat unlocked and were afraid there was a burglar in it Would we go and see if there was a burglar in it? "Wasn't that a nice thing to ask us to do? Here I had to get out of bed. wake np the hired girl and the elevator man and the janitor and go look for that burglar tn your fiat! Am' after all the trouble he wasn't there. "No, you'll never get such neighbors as we are again, such obliging, burglar hunting neighbors never in the world rChicaro Inter Ocean.

LITTLE TOBACCO GROWNN WAYNE Large Crop in Western Ohio, However.

According to recent statistics ther are comparatively few acres of land devoted to the cultivation of tobacco in Wayne county, but there is a rapidly increasing acreage just each of Richmond, especially between Westville and Eaton. This year's crop promises to be the largest for a number of years. One of the most successful farmers just east of the city recently sold 12,000 pounds which represented his crop for the past two seasons.
